This EU project will not bring hardly any prosperity for 90% of the people of Europe including the UK (indeed economic decline has been the case for nearly 10-years now in real terms taking inflation into account - basically has been going the same way as Japan with 20-years of economic stagnation), but just for the 10% rich as usual (that's why the politicians are leading us down the garden path as the servants of the mighty corporations). Indeed the cost to the EU taxpayer is astronomical and where every one of the 751 MEPs can receive €615,660 a year and look forward to a lump sum pension pot of €303,195. That's times 751 of course and where it is a mere drop in the ocean of the total cost of the EU. Some main-stream media outlets have said incredibly up 1000 billion Euro a year and where 'Translation' cost alone are pushing €1.5 billion a year. But a recent report stated that 'trade' between the UK and EU countries had not changed percentage wise since 1973, so what's the point for all this vast investment when it has not given any extra back to the wealth of the people?

I was a LD voter but I am no more. Tuition Fees, fracking, the Badger cull, the bedroom tax, tax breaks to millionaires, PO sell off to name but a few reasons. I regarded Tim Farron as someone with integrity but he has shown his true colours. LDs were always the party of the environment and animal welfare but when the cull of Canada Geese on Windermere was proposed by the totally undemocratic Lake District National Park Authority Farron would not support the protest. I admire the hard work and sincerity of local LD supporters but you are being betrayed by your leadership.

I hope the locals have more sense when it comes to the general election.
I am still awaiting a true answer to a question of about two years ago, namely;
What has Tim Farron achieved since becoming MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, despite all the rhetoric and photo opportunities?.

He has achieved getting himself into the position of possibly becoming the next Lib Dem leader by self promotion over many years.

With the current state of the lib-dems I can't see any of them clambering over themselves to be in the firing line! ;)

The figures are being touted as some kind of victory locally..
If my maths is correct, after loosing over a quarter of their share of the votes locally, the Lib-Dems have lost a larger share of their votes than the conservatives. The gap between the two has lessened.
